Education of Won on.

Home Journal.
Sydney Smith demonstrated seventy
Eve years ago, certain theorems relating
to higher education. These are some OF
them:
There is no just canse why woman OF
forty should bs more ignorant than boy
Of twelve years OF age.
When learning ceaaes to be uncommon
among women, learned women will cease
to he affected.
Nothing can be moro perfectly absurd
than to suppose that the care and per.
petual solicitude which a mother feels
Tor her children depends upon her ignor-
snce Of Greek and mathematics, and that
she would desert an infant for a Quadratic
equation.
Among men Of sense and liberal polite
ness woman who has successfully cul.
tivated her mind without diminishing the
gentleness and propriety OF her manners
is almost sure to meet with respect
and attention bordering upon enthuB.
iasm.

Uncle Jake ZieSler.

Philadelphia Ttmts.
/ Uncle Jake ziegler, Of the Butler Herald,
has not drank Intoxicating liquor for a
quarter OF o century. He derives his nick.
name Of uncle from an incident at fu.
neral, when the bereayed mother asked
him If he was ever father. He replied
'Nevcr, madame; but I expect to be an
uncle before another sun rises."
He is so popular at home that during
the war a pious old farmer, who daily
prayed for tho preservation Of The Union,
and also that the Lord would especially
visit His displeasure upon the Democrats
and bring confusion among them, express
cd his wishes thus:
"All Of them, Lord, except Uncle Jake
ziegler, for everybody knows he is oil

these remedies, thereby giving one. fifth
more medicine in the rs cent size. The
august Floaper for Dyspepsia and Liver

Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps,
the largest sale Of any medicines in tho

by the sick and afflicted, in every town

bottles for 10 cents remain the same sise.

EXEMPT FROM TAXATION.
A Decision Affecting Roman Catholic
schools In New Yor,.

A Decision Affecting Roman Catholic
schools In New YOr'.
NEW YORK, December lS-Judge Freed.
man of the Superior Court, has handed
down decision which practically deter
mines that that the parochial school prop
erty of the Roman Cuthohc Church in this
State is exempt from taxation.
The decision was particularly directly
toward the paroehial school OF ST. Monica's
Church, in East Seventy. eighth street.
This was in the immediate charge of Father
Dougherty. Originally he was the custo-
dian Of the property, but il was actually
in the possession of the Archbishop.
The school is devoted exclusively to the
tuition OF girls of the parish between the
ayes of ) and 10 years. 1t was supported
BY voluntary subscriptions. The annual
tax amounted to Sl5T50 for the year Of
1882 and was charged against the property.
1t was asserted by the church that the
property was not taxable, and suit was
brought against the city TO set this tax
aside and remove the charge against the es-
tate. The church asked that the city be
permanently eDjOined from leyying or
collecting taxes. Judge Freedman de-
eides in favor Of the plaintiff. In the
course Of his opinion he says:
THE tax is valid upon its face and con-
stitutes an apparent lien, but the plaintiff
contends that st the time Of the assess
ment of the tax the premises in question
were exempt by law from taxation by rea-
son Of their ownership and use. The plain
tiff claims that the premises were and are
exempt from taxation under the statute
relating to eXempting scbOolhouses.
The Judge takes the plaintiffs view of
the case and holds that it mist be decided
under the law of1SS2, which eXempts from
taxation every schoolhouse, college, semi
nary and building of public worship. The
Judge says that it is established beyond
doubt that the plaintiff was religious
society in 1882.
